The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter 307: Chapter 173: Trigger! Hidden Quest_2

After receiving Lu Ran’s permission, Black Feather was shocked to approach Lord Gao Li and share with him Lu Ran’s research results.

At that instant.

It wasn’t just Black Feather who was startled, Lord Gao Li himself scurried over to Lu Ran’s private residence in a rush, allowing his Pet Beast to taste the consciousness-severed pure soul body.

"This, this, this..."

After the experience, Missionary Gao Li turned into a stutterer, also showing a face of terror and a sense of disbelief.

"Brother, big brother, dear brother, my brother, Brother Emperor Trainer, how did you do it?"

Ever since Lu Ran demonstrated his formidable strength, Missionary Gao Li had already positioned himself very humbly.

Now, he truly wanted to kneel before Lu Ran, even though he had never felt this way even in the presence of divine envoys or elders. At this moment, looking at Lu Ran, he was like seeing the hierarch of the Divine Sect himself.

Lu Ran was... radiating light!

"It’s just a special kind of Cooking Intent," Lu Ran smiled.

"But this kind of Cooking Intent is difficult to master..."

Lu Ran wasn’t wrong; this Mind Sword Intent was based on Psychic Sensing, and if the cat hadn’t made a mistake, it was an extraordinary strength granted to humans by the legendary creature, Divine Deer.

Ordinary people didn’t really stand a chance at mastering it.

However, Lu Ran believed that sooner or later he too would find another universal method to remedy the soul’s flaws through cooking.

"God, you are a god!!!" After the enormous shock had passed, Lord Gao Li nearly lunged forward to embrace Lu Ran but was stopped by Black Feather.

"Lord Gao Li, please maintain your dignity, don’t frighten the King of Sudden Death," Black Feather coughed dryly, his gaze solemn.

From a girl in the bloom of youth to a Necromancer despised and hated by everyone on the street, Black Feather, while outwardly unaffected, yearned for recognition and light.

The arrival of Lu Ran was indeed like a ray of light in the hearts of these Necromancers. If her feelings for Lord Gao Li were gratitude, appreciation, and reverence, then towards Lu Ran, she now harbored a sense of worship and admiration.

"Right, right, right." Lord Gao Li showed a smile and said, "I was just too excited."

He laughed uproariously to the sky.

"Ahahaha, when the divine envoy arrives, I must give him a huge surprise!!!"

...

"What surprise do you have for me?"

...

Missionary Gao Li, who was in the midst of wild laughter, abruptly stopped and sharply turned his gaze towards the sky.

Black Feather and Lu Ran’s expressions also changed as they immediately looked up.

They saw a woman with a face covered in red burn scars, wearing a black robe, standing on a Bone Dragon whose eye pupils were filled with green flames, looking down indifferently.

"Uh..." Seeing the horrific-looking woman, Missionary Gao Li choked on his words and stuttered, "The Dark Fire Envoy..."

Lu Ran was taken aback too, an envoy?

Hadn’t Lord Gao Li said that people from the Divine Sect would only come after a month?

There was still half a month to go.

Species: Dark Fire Bone Dragon

Attribute: Undead, Fire

Species Level: High-Ranked King

Growth Level: Level 59

Furthermore, the data on the Bone Dragon Pet Beast mounted by the other party also fully appeared before Lu Ran’s eyes!

She was an expert, not inferior to the First Generation.

If a First Generation Beast Trainer from Blue Star entered here, to the Necro Sect, that would be equivalent to a divine envoy.

And within the Necro Sect, there are actually many such envoys, whose duty is akin to a liaison officer, responsible for connecting the outer members with the headquarter.

"Elder Shangguan has noticed some disturbance in the undead embryo that you are cultivating and has specially asked me to investigate the situation. Missionary Gao Li, did you use that weapon?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Li was shocked; he hadn’t expected that bone sword to have a tracking mechanism.

He understood that as long as someone used that bone sword, the elder who forged the sword would be alerted to the anomaly.

Thus, curious about what had happened, Elder Shangguan asked the Dark Fire Envoy to come and investigate the situation.

This led to the envoy’s arrival, much sooner than planned.

"Replying to the Divine Envoy, I indeed used that weapon, but that was because a group of Imperial Remnant Soldiers suddenly attacked Midwood City and, in self-defense, we had no choice but to employ the power of that deadly weapon."

"Hmm." After understanding what had happened, the Dark Fire Envoy did not ask further. As far as she was concerned, the matter was now concluded. Using the sect’s deadly necromantic weapon for self-defense was permissible.

Now, what the Dark Fire wanted to clarify was something else.

"What did you mean by, a ’huge surprise’ just now?"

At these words.

Missionary Gao Li took a step back and pointed to the silent Lu Ran.

"It’s him, it’s him, it’s definitely him, the hope of the Divine Sect, King of Sudden Death!"

"Hmm?" The Dark Fire Envoy looked at the youthful-faced Lu Ran, furrowing her brows, puzzled by the missionary’s sudden outburst.

"Dark Fire Envoy, let me introduce you!"

"This young man, known as the King of Sudden Death."

"He is a talented Beast Trainer that I found while growing our congregation in Midwood City."

"At just level one, he has already contracted with a pet beast of the King Species."

"His potential is alarmingly strong, and his Pet Beast Soul Talent is extremely formidable."

"Some time ago, when the Imperial Army attacked Midwood City, it was Brother King of Sudden Death who, using his bone sword, nearly single-handedly changed the entire tide of battle and defeated the enemy!"

"He protected us."

The Dark Fire Envoy wore a look of mild astonishment, but Gao Li continued speaking.

"If that were all, there wouldn’t be much to it."

"Most importantly, he has an extraordinary understanding of necro system."

"He also harbors extraordinary ideals."

"He believes that the future of the necro system is destined to change the continent, but the drawbacks of the necro system should also be resolved."

"After I taught him the basics of Necromancy, he began researching ways to overcome the drawbacks of Devouring Souls; one could say he is genuinely interested in Necromancy, a natural Necromancer."

"Not bad."

The Dark Fire Envoy hadn’t expected that the preacher could have unearthed such a super prodigy, and moreover, one with ideals.

It indeed gave her a pleasant surprise.

Nowadays, with the Empire in chaos and many prodigies emerging, the Divine Sect was in need of injecting fresh blood to strengthen itself and secure a say in these troubled times.

"Divine Envoy, I haven’t finished yet."

"Speak."

"The key point is, Brother King of Sudden Death has indeed found a way to resolve the drawbacks of Devouring Souls!"

The Dark Fire Envoy was taken aback.

"???"

"Impossible!" she involuntarily exclaimed, her brain struggling to keep up.

After a moment, her face turned red with veins bulging, and she stared at Gao Li with a terrifying gaze.

"I wouldn’t dare deceive you, milord!" Gao Li hurriedly said.

"I hope you have not deceived me."

"You, have you really found a way to eliminate the drawbacks of souls?" The Divine Envoy turned to look at Lu Ran.

"Yes, Divine Envoy, you can help verify it."

Lu Ran honestly pulled out another Giant Rat Beast, and with the same operation, produced a pure soul body.

The Bone Dragon descended, and as it Devoured the Soul, the Dark Fire Envoy’s expression changed, revealing shock just like Gao Li and Black Feather had.

"It’s actually true..."

"It’s actually true?!"

Immediately, she began to laugh uproariously, covering her forehead, unable to contain her laughter.

"Hahahaha."

Laughing even more crazily than Gao Li, it made Black Feather and the others swallow hard.

"Good, very good!!!"

The Dark Fire Envoy was thoroughly startled by Gao Li’s surprise; she had not anticipated that what he called a surprise would truly astonish her.

She looked at Lu Ran with intense eyes, saying, "Incredible, unbelievable, how did you manage to do it, but that’s not important now, you, come back to headquarters with me!!!"

"Missionary Gao Li, right? You’ve done very well, unearthing a prodigy with the ’Talent of the Saint Heir,’ and when we return to headquarters, I will personally commend you to the Sect Hierarch."

The Talent of the Saint Heir!

Upon hearing this, Gao Li and Black Feather flushed with excitement, seemingly happy for Lu Ran; after all, they had watched with their own eyes as Lu Ran went from a Necromancy novice to being recognized as one with the Talent of the Saint Heir by a Divine Envoy.

At this moment, Lu Ran too realized that he must have triggered some hidden quest!

Large Hidden Quest: Necromancer Holy Son.

Indeed, the main quest was just the beginning; in the Breakthrough Secret Realm, one still needs to play hidden quests to explore the worldviews!
